Not sure that statement was bad enough to warrant an insult. Megatexture is the only innovation Carmack brought to the table for the past few years and apparently he wasnt going to revolutionize 3d yet again. ( he clearly stated that he joined Oculus because he was feeling like he was really taking part in something new there.Nowadays everybody's making their own in house engine or modifying existing ones. The licensing market is completely dominated by Unreal and even innovative engines like crytek have trouble existing on the market. Take this and a couple of others like frostbite. there was simply no room for small team work like Carmack envisioned. Actually I wouldnt be surprised if the studio didnt find liberating to create engines for a game as opposed to game for the engine in the past. Carmack could actually create engines on his own and license it away if he had something relevant to offer. He doesnt have to have a whole gaming business behind him to back him up.

I think everyone could get a crappy game anyway. . Everyone will want to check that the game is nowhere as lame as its name before trusting them with your money.I mean come on "dex", even if the game was called etsoiehzefdfxx it wouldnt sound so bad. Well I wouldnt judge a book by its cover but if the writer can't come up with anything but a lame ass title for it I won't give a second look.

time travel? Is Draenor the outlands before it exploded. To be honest I quit this game long ago and not because of pandas because I couldnt be bothered the same game for five more years. To be honest there is nothing announced here that's tempting me into going back. The updated player character models are quite necessary if they want to keep capturing new players though. But strategically I think that's something they should be doing for free.

the whole concept of the Sims could produce interesting games if it was made by the like of rock star games. Instead we have an aseptised franchise with dumbed down gameplay. Oh wait the dumbed down gameplay was in Sim city..

I was wondering the same thing.. After reading the super vague descriptions of the game's features I have no clue what sets this apart from previous games. At the same time I cant claim that I am an expert. The only time I approached that game I was trying make a character that was a communist dictator who couldnt get laid in America. it didnt work out and got tired real quick.. Well if someone made a sims game that has the humour of games such as GTA and Tropico that would be a win.

yes that "driving a car in realistic city" part is "very" attracting to young kids. My 10 year old nephew tried it at a friend and asked to play GTA3 at my place I accepted it to observe him playing. he's not doing the quest and as he doesnt speak english doesnt understand the foul language and the drug themes. He's been a kid who loved to break his toy cars and just loves to make the cars fall from heights and explode. I would be lying if I said he doesnt find it funny to run his car over people. But for him it's cartoon stuff. This said I wouldnt like him to understand all the sex talk and drug talk and so on.

What if I say their games suck on here can I be banned? Oh wait I am not playing of their games. :p

the way I see it they could have trouble in countries where freedom of speech is enforced. Banning offensive people might be a good thing but stalking people on the internet is another thing. Offensive people on twitter is twitter's problem. Where does it stop? do they monitor what political party people support on twitter?At the same time if people have identifiable accounts on twitter they're calling it upon themselves :p
